Use a dry tea bag and bite on it and don't spit. If you are bleeding a lot is not suggested for you to go to sleep. Make sure the bleeding is stopped
Yes. Put an old towel over your pillowcase. Lying down decreases your blood pressure and this helps decrease bleeding. This is true if you have only a small amount of bleeding, or sporadic bleeding.
Yes you can, however try to sleep on the opposite side to reduce bleeding. If it does not stop, you can bite down on a regular black teabag for 15 minutes to stop the bleeding.
